  • Accelerate commissioning by validating schedules, optimizing sequences, and applying lessons learned across projects
  • Lead continuous improvement, developing metrics, benchmarking GC performance, and embedding QA/QC best practices across the portfolio
  • Act as a trusted advisor to project teams, guiding decisions that improve predictability, performance, and integration
What You Bring
  • 10+ years' experience in data center design, construction, or commissioning, ideally across Europe
  • A solid background in engineering or construction with deep technical understanding of MEP and commissioning readiness
  • Proven ability to lead and influence in matrixed, multi-disciplinary teams
  • Strong commercial awareness and understanding of procurement and vendor management
  • Skilled in schedule validation, QA/QC oversight, and process optimization
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
  • PE or Chartered Engineer qualification preferred, but not essential
Who You Are
  • A decisive, pragmatic leader who thrives on delivery excellence
  • Able to navigate complexity, connect teams, and drive results
  • Passionate about improving processes and reducing time to market
  • Comfortable working autonomously while collaborating across regions and discipline
  • Excited by the opportunity to build something new - a function that sets industry benchmark
  • Role Practicalities
  • Reports to: VP, Infrastructure Delivery
  • Location: Flexible across Europe
  • Travel: Approx. 1-2 site or stakeholder visits per month
Why Join STACK?

At STACK, you'll help shape how Europe delivers its most critical infrastructure. You'll join a fast-growing, international team that values integrity, innovation, and collaboration.
